the fury over mohamed morsi is a sweeping new presidential powers in egypt and claims its first lives with a teenager killed in protests just as compromise was possible. separatism holds sway and screams of riches a regional gotta lonia as pro independence parties win a majority of parliamentary seats possibly paving the way for referendum. and immediately said to julian a song releases a new book urging him to that he uses around the globe to stand up against a virtual in slave bent by governments.

today to you this is r t egypt's president is making steps towards a compromise and agreed to meet senior judges all drage at his seizure of polish makes his decisions untouchable it comes as the first blood in clashes over mohamed morsi is controversial decree is spilled with the violence and protests showing no sign of easing journalist is following events. the fifteen year old member of the freedom and justice party which is the muslim brotherhood's political organization died yesterday in the and i owe you guys to keep old egypt during clashes between pro and anti of brotherhood supporters in addition we've seen very heavy handed tactics from the police we've seen an excessive use of tear gas. has seen the use of blood shot but when it should be given quite severe injuries to the face the stomach had to pools of blood i mean initially from the police and this is really not showing any sign of stopping anytime soon and we've still mine the crash is happening literally just behind me on to her as

a citizen which was called by opposition forces continues they said they will not leave until most he backs down from his contentious concert of that duration which you would see him sweeping powers including powers over the judiciary and makes all his declarations in decrease immune to appeal by anybody or by any means definitely this is unprecedented in terms of a unification of the liberal leftist forces they have seen some of the former presidential candidates like coming to but he promised and baradei coming together and actually a booming economy to save egypt they say so we're really seeing quite a strong i mean from the opposition forces to more of course we'll see even more protests by the opposition forces who are planning a million man march is to create. a unifying in addition we had quite dramatic scenes of the journalists in the kit yesterday i'm as a journalist who are rising up against this that decoration which they see to be oppressive edition the judiciary as well have staged

a possible strike so really we're seeing a country rising up against this president which could see see the scenes that we saw last year during january february president morsi and has responded to these reactions from the opposition forces by saying that this decree will not should just be temporary and he's actually agreed to meet the judiciary who are holding a possible strike. however many see this to be not really enough of a measure to clean he's actually cool protests tomorrow his organization is a brotherhood and many people believe this will actually result in further violence on the streets. brotherhood supporters me really people are asking for mostly to back down this is declaration the constitution that gratian which is really too strong to simply to say that is temporary people want to actually and and they want him to show you signs of really being a democratic president rather than authoritarian dictator as he's proving to be. let's discuss the latest away hearing from egypt or from the u.k.

the journalist and writer neil clark who's on the line from london with a call that this meeting between the judges and the president how can you help resolve the crisis and will it help. well i think we've got to look a bit beyond this crisis this constitutional crisis to understand what is the real problem here in egypt of course there are widespread concerns about the public about what morsi is done in the last few games he said and that's not what people you know hundreds of thousands took to the streets when twenty eleven was to have a new dictator but the underlying cause i think are economic factors and the fact is people voted to morsi because it changes it but the economy has got worse one in four young egyptians are out of work. poverty is on the rise so i think there is this one issue this question szell crisis moment but beyond that there are deep issues in egypt have to be addressed but morsi did say did claim that the extension of his powers were just temporary can he be trusted not at all because egyptians have heard it before the kernel of temporary time of

a doubt down the years where governments have said they're doing this on a temporary basis and it's ended up lasting a very long time to mubarak for instance so i think there is that sort of fear among egyptians that what they're getting is an inherent right said they want they wanted more democracy back in twenty eleven but they also wanted fundamental economic changes which haven't come about i mean he did say temporary now because of all this tension why this apparently you turned from him so he could repeat that why was that a new turn he obviously he didn't say there were temporary at the beginning when he announced now all of a sudden they're temporary so why the sudden u. turn well i think what happened last week happy was that the sort of words of praise he got in the u.s. about his sort of peace brokering in garza went to his head he thought he was in a very strong position because you know he was praised for his role in bringing to an end as to that in cars and so we thought that would be a good time to announce that it's all back but i think it's taken by surprise just how much of this issue there is dictated out so he now realizes sort of account. of the fact that he's now announced that these

a policy just temporarily hasn't really affected the protests people are saying they don't want him to have these powers at all so then what is it you would calm the tensions. well i think as i said i don't think this is just about constitutional powers i think had morsi come to power and actually done things for the people of egypt had unemployment be reduced poverty the british etc had he broke with the failed economic policies of the mubarak era i don't think it would be quite so outraged that there is i think it's a combination of factors what they're getting is possibly a new dictator who is actually carrying on with the same economic policies of the barkeeper so i think that's what's really inflamed people here but isn't it too soon to expect him to have made all these extreme changes that i mean it's only been a stop here of time well you know one case yes but the other hand let's think about it when he was an opposition party saying they were. policies for example on the i.m.f. loan the i.m.f. loan which has been in negotiations muslim brotherhood said they were against that and that would be disastrous if they took that because that would mean the credit i was initially to her economy subsidies being reduced except the disaster for the

majority of egyptians and the muslim brotherhood so there are gates that when you are in opposition he comes to power at the policy has changed we had a very high level delegation of american multinationals coming to cairo two months ago and they were given the red carpet treatment and the government was saying well yes you can take your profits back to america these are exactly the wrong sort of policies that he wants he just wants to have to return to a much more kind of if you like socialist economy to put the ninety nine percent to forty one percent let's talk about the opposition how strong is this opposite the president's opponent at this point and is it the opposition really capable of inflicting any political damage now where the problem is here to be is the opposition very divided between genuine progress is a socialist forces that's right force if you like and the mubarak said you know this or remnants of the mubarak regime. they may agree that what morsi is done is wrong but have they got a credible program that they can put together you know as i said i think egypt

needs a new economic model it needs to break with the policies of the past the properties ation policies the progress and capital for. list etc and to adopt a new car but you're not going to probably agreement that between the opposition forces and unless these economic issues are addressed we're going to get more people out on the streets because as i said when you've got no job when you've got no food on the table you're going to get angry going into the streets and so you know we'll go from one crisis to another until the economic position changes but let's look ahead here what could the international consequences of these events be . well we were hearing from america that the mortal hardcore neo cons like john mccain saying that the u.s. should cut its aid to egypt unless morsi backs down. if you like i think the u.s. is sort of divided on one hand. you know there are members of the u.s. really who would prefer the mubarak forces back but the other hand they're saying morsi has got too much from their point of view anyway and i think that you know morsi has got a difficult job because of course these countries have to get in on us eight and

the u.s. is not a guarantee is going to change the course and you know i think that's what he's got to do if the underlying problems are to be addressed so i think some kind of moving away from the u.s. has to happen do you think that the people are saying we brought you into power but you're not listening to us now so we might actually get you out of power if we wanted to that's the message and i think more she's made a big mistake he you know he may have thought that basically people were and he mubarak and barak's gone and therefore have a bit of leeway but no the underlying problems the corruption and the policies of the. you know the people want to cling great with these policies they wanted radical change not cosmetic change not really a change of leader at the top carrying on with the same economic policies the same social policies etc they wanted a real radical change they're not getting that and so it really is at a crucial stage now where he's got to listen to the people to actually change course he's not going to be easy but i think they were tentative would be you know these demonstrations are only going to get worse and worse from his point of view

neil clark journalist and writer live from london thank you for your thoughts and to tell you thank you very much. pro independence parties have won a parliamentary majority in spain's got the lonny and all the regions president too is pushing for referendum on breaking away from central government actually lost seats and now has to build a coalition and the spanish prime minister has repeatedly warned that separatism is against the constitution i t's entries for my reports from the us alone. well as expected arthur mass has been reelected as the cattle president albeit with a reduced majority but the result does up the ante in terms of the region's battle for independence and that's because mr mass will now be required to fulfill his pre-election promise of holding a referendum on to session and that would place the region and him on a collision course with the spanish government because they say any referendum would be against the spanish constitution and what's more the prime minister mariano horry will be desperate to keep hold of one of the country's wealthiest

regions as he tries to stave off a european bailout why this all happened today and why people voted in this manner it's probably because of the economic crisis for many cattle and six was the tipping point they say that their region is very wealthy it has an economy the size of portugal's but in terms of the number in terms of the size of taxes they pay it's much more to central government than they actually get back from madrid in terms of investments in schools and hospitals so they're annoyed about that and particularly when you consider that unemployment here is around twenty five percent so if a referendum does happen i suppose you could say that you would expect people to vote in favor of it although i say that those people who are against separatism do point out that if catalonia does draw from spain it could also mean it has to drop out of the european union and not many people in catalonia would be in favor of that if that turns out to be the case and maybe they would prefer the status quo so

there are a lot of ifs and buts but what we do know as a result of today's election there is a growing sentiment of nationalism and a sense for independence here in catalonia. an arctic air spokesperson for a group dedicated to helping separatist movements believes a seven catalan nation could have a mutually beneficial relationship with the european union. we have to put stupidity to cast the boat to task for our work represented in the parliament with this object if i missed the start the institution the process put in the balance of i don't know which is a process those not all days stephen economic plan or door everybody may believe that actually the reason side of this is what we want is the political wing that in the end which means the one to decide about the political and the social political policies like immigration education komo stories church existed etc it's over well we have to understand that actually spain now will get all the spanish state

machinery out trying to fear come cancel out and we are european cities and no there's not such process of that that the group would be out of the european union so i'm a half million people suddenly in the hockey that would be more difficult actually to manage to good order what is necessary to be out at it's not a consideration we don't believe we're going to be out of the european union like this time i'm not going to be outside european union just because we are exercising universal rights as you know restaurant of some of its nation we talk about democracy here coming up in a few minutes it's made of only mud and tires but offers opportunity reports small makeshift a bedouin ask what side jerusalem that's on the verge of demolition taking the children's only place to study doctor shopping.

waves of corruption are rocking russia hundreds of millions of dollars vanished from apec building projects and russia's gulnaz satellite project a real estate scandal has also led to the defense minister being fired note i said fired in russia we hear a lot about corruption scandals and the reaction is usually a firing or forced resignation and maybe that would be ok another country but russia has big dreams in a big country that has big corruption spoiling all of those dreams a country can't survive with every infrastructural or scientific project is sucked dry from within whether the government is unwilling or unable to sternly punish these offenders is a huge topic by could tell you that if there's no real fear of punishment this will just keep going on for ever perhaps it's time to put a big asterisk for high level corruption next to the moratorium on the death

penalty but that's just my opinion. culture is the same much as a lot of people at my area will barely old enough to from the so-called war has been fought for decades to believe is achieved much beyond horrific budgetary calls any extreme rehiring levels of it. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big

before any authorities dispersed a peaceful march with tear gas cheering muslim celebrations for the holy month of mclaren this comes a month after the state of banned all public demonstrations opposition activists have vowed to continue define the ban until the demand for a democratically elected government is met but praise uprising has lasted for almost two years with activists calling for more freedoms and better access to jobs and education from this union leaders it's either a poor education or none at all for one small bedroom when community outside jerusalem that's because of the hard to which serves as a school in this settlement is under threat of demolition because it's considered an illegal structure but as part of the reports locals believe there's more to this than i like of building permits. it's the end of another school day but as these

students scramble the difficult path home it's far from clear that they'll have a school to return to tomorrow is all supreme court has decided not to demolish the building for now it's one of the ugliest but there's been so i've ever seen and there's so many ugly petitions against palestinians in the west bank the school is . made of tires and. it's about half a kilometer underneath very fancy houses and villas of. the illegal structure was built three years ago entirely from tires held together with mud in georgia is one of about one hundred pupils mostly girls who are taught here it could be the only chance she'll ever get an education other schools are too far away and inaccessible. we are a very poor school in winter it's very cold and in summer it's very hard we have no air conditioners or heating and our children often fall asleep because of the heat

and dust who also have no use for them to play in and you have to carry all the quitman here by hand the john allen big one community has lived in this no man's land for sixty years they fled their traditional homelands in the negev desert during the one nine hundred forty eight war of independence but now israel which has occupied the area since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven wants them to move again. the settlers come with guns their main goal is to keep all the syria without palestinians so they can kill the dream of building a palestinian country aid hama says a father of seven like other bedouin farmers most of the herding grounds for his goats and sheep have been swallowed up by nearby settlements the state has never given him and others a building permit and the makeshift homes have no running water sanitation or electricity and now their children could be left out in the cold for first of all it's. a policy probably against indication when you don't have an educated person

you can easily manipulate the way they think so i think that's the focal point it's about demolishing that school or aiming their attack against the school the case has been back and forth in the courts a demolition order instigated bicyclists is still valid and the community could be displaced at any time the settlers accuse the bad ones of building the school for political purposes a tactic they themselves often use but they ignore the fact that if the school is closed down these students will inevitably drop out of education and become an even bigger burden on the state policy r t outside east jerusalem. right now on our website at the u.s. appoints a prominent party animal advocate cultural ambassador to the middle east find out how the punk rock star under w.k. is planning to unite the human race. and plus the biggest shopping day of the year for online u.s. retailers is expected to bring more profit than black friday get the full details
